Living The Words Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Are you the greatest poem,
you still have to write

And if not—what's the point
of it all

Are you the repository of
all you have felt

Or the dealer and merchant
of lies

Are your thoughts tattooed on your
immortal soul

With your feelings exposed
or held back

Are the words disconnected
from the ink in your veins

Do you live within
all that you've said

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May,2016)
